Waterfront

Supervised instructional and free swim are scheduled daily in our three pools. Under the leadership of certified life guards and experienced teachers, swim instruction follows American Red Cross guidelines, with small-group attention. At our private lake, supervised activities include swimming, rope swing, fishing, and our flotilla of fun-yaks, canoes and boats. There are fish in our lake to catch, frogs and turtles to examine and a fascinating swamp to explore. All activities are supervised by certified Lifeguards and our mature and caring staff.
